So are you planning to strip away the old bondo, which was put over rust damage, only to replace the bondo without repairing the base metal rust damage? Just wanting to understand the basis for your questions.

The truck is stripped 80% now. but the rust is pitted pretty bad in some places, I will grind and wire wheel all I can, but to be honest I'm thinking getting it 100% is going to be hard. things like inner wheelwells, wich I would like to seal and paint, rusty cuts in the bed.so it will be close but I was thinking I could get away with a little imperfection if I used etch before bondo. Thanks

I'm I think with Roger. Why not replace the rusted metal? If not all, a lot of it is reproduced and not that costly. You have pictures of what your doing?
